YORKSHIRE BEAR
2013
Casual Bear Babywear
Branding, Packaging, Children’s clothing range
Packaging designs for a fictional babywear brand with an
upmarket but slightly quirky audience in mind.
Casual Bear Babywear
Branding, Packaging,Children’s clothing range
Clothing designs/applied illustration for a fictional
babywear brand. The aim was to create a fresh, unusual
look with a slightly retro, fantastical style.
Penguin Horror Series
Series of Book Covers
A series of book covers taking inspiration from classic
Horror posters. The concept was to use the horizontal
band to split the chosen ‘character’ of each book into two
halves portraying elements of that character.
Cutty Sark Whiskey
Media Kit/ Packaging Design
This media kit relates to the history of the Cutty Sark’s
namesake and figurehead Nanny the witch, featured in
the Robert Burn’s poem ‘Tam O’ Shanter’. The tale is
of a drunken farmer (Tam) who encounters the young
witch dancing in a short skirt, or ‘Cutty Sark’. He
exclaims ‘Weel Done Cutty Sark’ (hence the spelling) in
excitement, before being chased away by the witch. The
media kit’s contents relate to warding off
the witch, with a little dutch courage
for good measure!
Homebase ‘Grow Your Own’ Range
Packaging Range, Infographic Instructions, Branding
Simple, easy to follow packaging to encourage a younger
audience grow their own fruit and veg. I introduced a step
by step approach to the range, created a new logo and
developed a series of illustrated instructions. The ‘steps’
featured in the instructions correlate with product packs
containing necessary equipment for each growing stage.
Luck
Poster Design
A poster set illustrating ‘Luck’. Traditional symbols of luck
were used alongside common luck-related phrases and
the resulting images given a Kitsch, aged aesthetic.
Animal Alphabet
Gift Wrap/ Tag, Greetings Card, Nursery Print, Canvas
Bag, Gift Bag Designs.
The aim was to produce a high-end alphabet print that
would look at home in a trendy nursery. The brief was then
extended to include a range of products, each available in
26 variations.
Headline
Screen Print Design
Winning entry for a competition run by Urban Outfitters
Leeds to produce a screenprint with the theme ‘Headline’.
I chose to feature an article stating that the popularity
of Burlesque stars such as Dita Von Teese (hence the
spelling) had led to a rise in sales of stockings.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Standard Book Cover Design, Limited Edition Book
Cover Design, Bookmarks, Screenprint.
Designs for a series of ‘Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland’ products with a vintage inspired theme. The
series included book covers, bookmarks, screenprints
and a limited edition book cover.
Bob and Ralph
Screen Print Design
Personal illustration and screen printing project. The prints
were hand pulled and are for sale on Etsy.
Don’t Panic - Resistance
Poster Design
Poster produced on the theme of ‘Resistance’ with a
traditional comic book style. The rodeo image shows
the horse’s resistance to being tamed and the cowboy
resistance to being thrown.
